I decided to publish my first private eye
short story, The
Tall Blonde with the Hot Boiler, on Amazon for Kindle. This story was originally
published in "Black Mask" in Ellery Queen's Mystery
Magazine, Jan. 2011, so if I knew you back then, you may have already heard
about it. I'm trying to make my older work available as I build my author
"brand." If you like the story, please leave a review on Amazon
or use your social media to help me spread the word.
This was my first short story about wino, pacifist, private eye Frank Swiver. A blonde, somewhat the worse for wear, hires Frank to find her stolen car (hot boiler). Frank doesn't know why she'd want to pay him big money for something the police could likely do better than he, for free, but he likes her money, and he likes the blonde, so he takes the case. When he finds the car he also finds something in the trunk that makes him realize he's in to more than just grand theft auto.
That is an older Boiler Room set, Boiler Repair Fulham not the one he just did in Paris with Kutmah. (Just in case there is some confusion here. :-)
